I will probably get an X1 this summer but I have to say that Microsoft really screwed the pooch on the new controller. They already had a great design with the 360 controller, so what do they do, make it worse. Albeit, not by a large degree, but the bumpers (lb and rb buttons) on the new controller are horrible. Then they still refuse to have a built in rechargeable battery. SMH

I like new controllers better. Old ones were too bulky.

The X1 controller with batteries last MUCH MUCH longer than the PS4 with rechargeable ones. And if anything just get rechargeable double AA batteries. I did. Actually i got arguably the best rechargeable batteries on the market.

The battery life on the D S4 is so short because of that stupid light bar. People have opened it up and disconnected it and gotten 30 hours. Apparently there will be a software update that allows us to shut it off.

Never even heard about these. Gonna have to pick up a pack. Nothing worse than scrambling around looking for a new set of batteries (1st world problems lol)

I sucked it up and bought a recharge kit, once my triggers lose the rumble ability I plug it in.
